Montgomery Township occupies the southern end of Somerset County beside Princeton and the Mercer County line. The municipality includes the postal communities of Belle Mead and Skillman, along with historic villages such as Blawenburg, Harlingen, Bridgepoint, and Dutchtown. U.S. Route 206 is the main north-south corridor, connecting Montgomery with Princeton, Hillsborough, and Somerville. The township’s landscape combines residential neighborhoods, schools, professional offices, local shopping areas, farms, preserved open space, and wooded ridges near the Sourland Mountain region. Parks and trails are distributed throughout the community, including Skillman Park and several preserved natural areas. Montgomery borders Hillsborough, Franklin Township, Princeton, Hopewell Township, and Rocky Hill. Its location near major universities and central New Jersey employment centers has encouraged steady residential growth, while planning and land preservation have maintained substantial areas of open countryside. The result is a community with both suburban convenience and a visible agricultural and historic character.
